Are there any tricks out there where you can pound a nail through your finger or hand? I'm working on an idea where a nail is displayed, then you lay your hand (palm up) onto a piece of wood. Next you tap the nail with a hammer halfway down into your palm. When you lift your hand, the piece of wood is lifted, too, implying that the nail is through your hand & connected to the wood.
I'm not sure I can make the gimmick; that is why I'm wondering if there is any methods that are available to buy. |

I don't know.....why don'tcha ask JESUS .....
:) sorry, couldn't resist... NICE premise though, and a whole lotta possibilties in the gaff dept., though I cant think of one now.... it would definitely be some serious gaffing though, probably mechanical in nature... Baba |

D'oh !!
Gede, I don't think that one was a trick ! Hmm.. stigmata, maybe that'll be the next body modification fashion craze. Quarter inch holes in your palm, right between the bones and tendons. Earlobes are for wusses !

Although joking, Baba is in my frame of mind.
The reason I'm looking for a Nail thru finger/hand routine is for when I tell my story using "nails that may have been around for the cruxifiction of Christ" from my Cabinet of Curiosities. I considered SPIKED but cannot afford it. Maybe I will just continue with my method and include it in my second book that I publish. |

I've seen a few people do it by first covering the hand/finger with a cloth and pounding the nail through that. there are many similar, you put your appendige into a box, basket, cylinder, etc.
that might make it easier for you to work out your own method. |

You could always make a small version of the candle through arm I suppose, though that's kind of tacky.

Scaress,
Covering the hand with a cloth before doing the penetration would work superbly! Only I'm not sure how I would accomplish the penetration. I am not familiar with how a KNIFE THRU COAT effect works. Would I be able to use the same principle to do a NAIL THRU (wrapped in cloth) PALM effect? Mystician, I did contemplate a CANDLE THRU ARM in miniature for my finger but, being that my storyline is about cruxifiction, I leaning more towards the hand/palm. Thanks. |
